This is not necessary. LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib is sufficient. Program loader will search for the libraries in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, in addition to /usr/lib and /lib. Here is an excerpt from "man ld". Look under 7:
The linker uses the following search paths to locate required
shared libraries.
- Any directories specified by -rpath-link options.
- Any directories specified by -rpath options. The difference between -rpath and -rpath-link is that directories specified by -rpath options are included in the executable and used at runtime, whereas the -rpath-link option is only effective at link time. It is for the native linker only.
- On an ELF system, if the -rpath and "rpath-link" options were not used, search the contents of the environment variable "LD_RUN_PATH". It is for the native linker only.
- On SunOS, if the -rpath option was not used, search any direc- tories specified using -L options.
- For a native linker, the contents of the environment variable "LD_LIBRARY_PATH".
- For a native ELF linker, the directories in "DT_RUNPATH" or "DT_RPATH" of a shared library are searched for shared libraries needed by it. The "DT_RPATH" entries are ignored if "DT_RUNPATH" entries exist.
- The default directories, normally /lib and /usr/lib.
- For a native linker on an ELF system, if the file /etc/ld.so.conf exists, the list of directories found in that file.
If the required shared library is not found, the linker will issue
a warning and continue with the link.
